Michael Douglas and Jack Nicholson collaborated on the 1975 film «One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest» together.
Michael Douglas is recounting what his close pal Jack Nicholson would give him a hard time about back in the day.
“[The character’s] hair has always been an important part of my acting,” the “China Syndrome” actor, 81, explained during a Q&A before a screening of his 1987 film “Wall Street” last month. “It’s just funny how that kind of thing helps.”
“Jack Nicholson always used to give me sh–t about hair acting. [He’d say], ‘What’s with his hair acting?’ I said, ‘You should talk,’” Douglas teased.
While the Oscar winner and “The Shining” star, 88, were never in a movie together, they did collaborate on the 1975 film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.“
Nicholson starred as Randle McMurphy while Douglas worked as a producer.
In recent years, Nicholson has kept a low profile, last appearing in the 2010 rom-com “How Do You Know.”
Meanwhile, Douglas has also stepped back from acting, revealing in July that he was happy to be out of the spotlight.
“I have not worked since 2022 purposefully because I realized I had to stop,” the “Fatal Attraction” actor said while at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, per Variety, at the time.
